rails-admin-scaffold 
Rails 4 generator which allows to scaffold admin controllers, views with proper (non-namespaced) models, helpers, tests and routes
How to use
- Add
gem 'rails-admin-scaffold', 'x.x.x'
to your Gemfile
- Run
bundle install
- Create admin scaffold with e. g.
bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean
- And don't forget to generate model itself
bin/rails g model Post title:string content:text published:boolean
and apply migrations bin/rake db:migrate
How to customize your generator templates
Put the '_form.html.erb.erb', 'edit.html.erb.erb', 'index.html.erb.erb', 'new.html.erb.erb', 'show.html.erb.erb' into '/lib/templates/admin/scaffold_controller/views/erb/'
Then the generator will use those templates to generate scaffold.
How to customize your prefix name
Type your command with option --prefix_name=xxxx.
If you want change the prefix name 'admin' to 'manager' for example you can do something like this:
bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean --prefix_name=manager
This will generate class Manager::PostsController < ApplicationController
How to customize your parent controller
If you want all your Admin controllers to inherit from another
controller like AdminController
you can specify the
--parent_controller option:
bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean --parent_controller=admin
This will generate class Admin::PostsController < AdminController
How to generate bootstrap-friendly views
If you want to generate bootstrap friendly views, use the --bootstrap
option (-b
for short)
bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean --bootstrap
